learning about input and output parameters of components

i have no idea what the abbreviations of some input and output params mean, nor what they are supposed to do. is there a place, where this is explained for all components? or are there any good places to learn for at least some components?

you can hover your cursor on top on each component's inputs and outputs, as well as the middle of the component. Also, if you right click in the middle of a component, you can see the help entry for that component, outlining the necessary inputs to satisfy the component. For example, if I hover my cursor over a Srf4Pt componen't A input I see "Srf4Pt.A(Point)"

The (Point) tells me I need a point. Take a look at other components to identify some different types of info you would need for the input.

Typing the command "GrasshopperExportHelp" to get the documentation on all of the components.
good luck!
